REFLECTIONS

“I was so moved by last night’s [2007] presentation. I would like to know if there is some way I can write to some of the men and women in our Armed Forces in Iraq to let them know I am praying for them nightly. I pray also for their families – especially those who have lost someone that I may be free.”
